I forgot my favourite in English, which is an 18th-century, Latin-based joke word, and properly latin! It means the habit of estimating things as worthless. It certainly is still in use in English because I use it every chance I get. I'll now start in Latin!Desiderium meum anglicè, jocosum saeculi decimi octavi è latino, ergô verbum latinum verum, oblitus sum! In usu continuat, quoniàm ego quidem, primo quoquè tempore, semper eo utor. Sic facere coepiam latiné!
